　　During the nineteen seventies, Anne Lindbergh wrote several more books about the happy and sad events of her life. One of these is called "Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead." She wrote about the joy of flying. She also wrote about the pain she and her husband felt after the body of their baby son was discovered.

And I realized, in the dream, that I would do that forever. "
